The
Bogastow Ski Team welcomes all new and returning members: The team gives young skiers of all
ages an opportunity to train and compete in slalom and giant slalom courses
against skiers from other local clubs. Bogastow competes in the Eastern Massachusetts Buddy Werner League. No prior race experience is required;
however, skiers must be able to get on and off a chair lift unassisted and ski all terrain at
Nashoba Valley competently. The Bogastow Ski Team is a great option to consider if wanting to ski race but also want to stay fairly local on the weekends.

The
7 & under race course is gentle with the emphasis on fun.The 8 & older skiers compete on more
competitive courses with the emphasis on improving skills and successful course
completion.

Where and when…

The
team trains at Nashoba Valley in Westford on Wednesdays from 6:00-8:00 p.m.,
mid-December through February.

While a good majority of our team is from Dover/Sherborn it should be noted that being a resident of the towns is not a requirement. We have kids from Weston, Wellesley, Wayland and other surrounding towns compete on the team. There is also a further west contingent of racers on our team from the Lancaster, Harvard, Stow region that train at Wachusett on Wednesday nights from 6:00-8:00 p.m.

Races
are held on seven Sunday mornings in January, February and March. Races are held at Nashoba, Ski Ward in Shrewsbury, Bradford in Andover, Blue Hills in Canton and Wachusett
in Princeton. Racers are not obligated
to attend every practice or race, but must attend at least three races to
compete in the Championship Race.

Bogastow is a parent-volunteer run
organization.In order to make our team
and race days run successfully, parents of all skiers are expected to volunteer
on race days.

In
recent years, skiers from Dover, Sherborn, Dedham, Weston, Westwood, Wellesley and
surrounding towns have raced for the team with some qualifying for additional
post-season championship races. Many top level racers also compete in USSA races throughout the season.

Ribbons
are awarded to the top 10 finishers in each age group at every race. Trophies
are awarded to the top 10 finishers at the Trophy Race and at the Championship
Race. Skiers are also recognized for their individual achievements and
contribution to the team at our annual banquet.
